Quantum Phases of Matter

The Quantum Phases of Matter is a groundbreaking text that provides an in-depth exploration of the remarkable developments in quantum condensed matter physics since the 1980s.

This comprehensive guide covers a wide range of topics, from the phases of matter amenable to independent particle descriptions to entangled phases of matter, and introduces concepts such as fractionalization and emergent gauge fields using the simplest resonating valence bond insulator with an energy gap.

The text also delves into band topology and the parton method, leading to a large variety of experimentally relevant gapped states. The author provides clear and concise explanations, accompanied by numerous end-of-chapter problems to reinforce key concepts and expand readers' comprehension.

With its unified perspective based on effective field theories, this text is an essential resource for both students and experts in the field of condensed matter physics.
